We are going to the beach for New Years : ) Finally! I like the beach. And it's been a while since I've been down there. The only negatives of spending NY down there are:
- potential family squabbles
- scary drunk pyromaniac neighbours who play loud music and scream all night
- lots of people
- probably lots of bitey bugs this time of year
- sharing a room with both sisters unless I am brave and sleep in the downstairs bedroom all by myself. O__O

SO! I will be heading down there with dad at maybe 4 or even 3-ish in the morning (;__;) because he is going to go fishing and I will take the cats and the food supplies and set up the place while he is out at sea for the day, until mum and sisters arrive later in the evening.
Which means.
For nearly a whole day I will have the beach house TO MYSELF.

:D ANY IDEAS ON WHAT I CAN DO?? :D

Probably literally nothing X'D there's not even phone signal own there.
At least if the rash happens I should be safe. <_<

Which beach, Owl? I remember some of the beaches (at least in the northeast corner bit of Tassie) as having amazing little translucent rainbow shells that were great for craft work. I still have a necklace I made of them, strung on fishing line. And moonstones and bits of fossil wood and seaglass - all sorts of beautiful stuff. Rockpools with anemones and crabs, driftwood and pretty seaweed. And of course there's always the sea, full as it is of salt and secrets, songs and stories and poems.

A whole day to yourself sounds great! You could do anything or nothing. Enjoy!

I'm totally down with going to the beach whenever possible. Comes from having grown up so close to the ocean!

Saaaaaaaaaaame! I'd go looking for critters-under-rocks, interesting pebbles, and sea-glass, but actually just sitting and sleeping/reading/having a lazy day would be fun too.

Me, I'd be in the water!  One of the most best things to do at the beach

Oh, I suggest drawing in the sand! Or building things with rocks and driftwood you find lying around. Whenever I go to the beach I don't really do much else other than walk and explore, but that's probably boring.

Beaches are awesome. Especially the kind where you can go look for things to eat!

That said I don't have much access to beaches now but at least I can go swim at the local pools. I tried a really old one today for an after-work swim and quite liked the place. Its age shows and there's nothing there but a pool and some "hot pots" for soaking in even warmer water than the 28°C of the main pool (you'll tire really fast trying to swim in that), but on the upside it meant that most people rather go to the other swimming hall nearby and this one was calm and quiet. Idk why it is but I don't like exercising with other people around so a pool to myself = yes thank you please!

I thought I'd take it easy today and did just a few laps but apparently I was more unfit than I thought and now my arms are shaking, oops. :D

I much prefer oceans because I sink in fresh water but I float in salt water.

I love all water but I prefer swimming in the ocean! Grew up in that so it's pretty natural-feeling. Also, I like the color of the water best :P

Crystal clear rivers and springs are really nice too!! I like being able to see the bottom in freshwater bodies of water so I know there aren't any snakes or alligators chilling around me :'3c I went to a camp in North Carolina where we had to swim in a very opaque lake and even though I knew there wasn't anything that hurt me I still hated it.
